Description
Don’t get me wrong! I love a good burger, especially a good plant-based burger! I used Impossible Foods plant-based patty for a healthier vegan meat alternative burger with Israeli salad. This mouthwatering Vegan Burger with Israeli Salad is bright, balanced and beautiful!

Instructions
HOW TO MAKE ISREALI SALAD
- In a small mixing bowl, add Sherry vinegar (red wine vinegar works also), minced shallots, sugar, mustard, salt, and ground black pepper to make the vinaigrette. Mix well until emulsified and homogenous.
- In a medium mixing bowl, Add thinly sliced cucumber, diced tomatoes, thinly sliced red onions, fresh cilantro, mint and dill, vinaigrette and toss together. Set aside.
HOW TO MAKE HUMMUS
- In a Vitamix or food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil and seasoning. Blend until smooth. Set Aside.
- If you do not require the burger to be 100% vegan, labneh also makes a good substitute for hummus.
HOW TO MAKE VEGAN BURGER WITH ISREALI SALAD
- Divide a package of Impossible Burger patty approximately 6 oz or 170g and shape into patties. Season both sides with Za’atar seasoning or Montreal steak seasoning.
- In a non-stick pan, over medium high heat, add olive oil and sear the patties on each side until a crust forms. Approximately 1 and half minutes.
- Top each patty with cheese or vegan cheese and cover the pan until the cheese melts. Approximately 30 seconds.
- While the patties are cooking, toast a brioche bun.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of hummus or labneh on the bottom of each bun. Divide avocado slices and add to the bun.
- Once the patties are done cooking, transfer them to the bottom buns. Top each burger with 2 tablespoon of Isreali salad. Place the brioche bun tops on top.
- If you have extra salad, serve as a side!
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Double the recipe for the Isreali Salad if you want to serve as a side! It makes a great appetizer also!
- The vinaigrette can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
